Breach of promise

There is no greater fraud than a promise not kept.

Gaelic Proverb

I find that people today treat their words lightly. They say things they don’t mean and when they do it often it becomes a habit and they don’t realize that it is wrong even when it is pointed out to them.

When you break your promise you lose credibility. Most people do not give second thoughts to breaking promises but then again I have heard many friends say that so and so can never be trusted. In fact I had heard this mentioned several times in Lions club of Kota Kinabalu Host about Dr. Muthusamy.

Don’t treat your words lightly. They are powerful and can have dramatic consequences. When you say anything, make certain you mean it. Say what you mean and mean what you say.

Again, this may sound simple, but like making promises you do not keep, telling someone you will do something and then not doing it will kill your credibility. If someone comes to you with an issue and you tell them “I will get right back to you” then you better get back to them as soon as possible.

Dr. Muthusamy Palanisamy promised me that he will stand neutral at the EGM and in less than a month voted against me at the EGM and I think this is very unbecoming of a  member of Lions Clubs District 308 A 2; unbecoming of a man who is the leader of the Sri Pasupathinath Alayam Kota Kinabalu; unbecoming of a  member of MAJAPS and most importantly unbecoming of an Indian with Indian values.

 Breach of promise is a base surrender of truth.
